Sunday Strum, Episode 15: Triplets –– Lesson

0
0

In this week’s episode of Sunday Strum, I demonstrate an example using eighth note triplets.

This is a basic way of practicing them, but if you are more comfortable with the rhythm, feel free to switch it up and apply triplets any way you like.

The eighth note triplet rhythm translates to three eighth notes in the space of two eighth notes.

An easy way to think about this is dividing the beat into three equal parts.

Make sure to strum them down, up, down to keep everything consistent.

Check out the lesson right here:
